So I picked up a used Destroyer carbine recently. Went up to the home range today with some brand new, factory ammo, loaded it up, and (click). Striker drops, but no bang. The firing pin is dimpled, but did not ignite. Tried about a dozen rounds and gave up. These old guns are always a gamble and I didn't pay much for it, so not the end of the world. Though the seller, if he knew, grossly misstated the condition in the auction.
Anywho, I reached out to the seller, but that may go no where. I will either repair it or just dump it on Numrich and move on. Questions:

- Any idea as to cause? My guess is some spring no longer has enough force.
- Worth bothering to fix?
